Deadline day for the cuts


According to the Whitehouse, this day has been known since 2011 as the day that all congress members would dread. Starting this Friday, the US government has to end up cutting close to $85 Billion dollars from their annual spending. These cuts will affect federal agencies and government officials warn that these cuts could cause Unemployment, longer lines at airports to lower quality of food inspections. Along with the capital/house, the senate is cutting down on their spending. The current democratic leaders are awaiting the exact numbers that they will end up cutting.
 



Having such an advanced knowledge of these cuts should have given the Government a heads up and a large amount of time to plan for the areas of the Country where they can cut spending from. When you get right down to it, if the United States does not cut down on major spending, they will find themselves even more in debt. They will eventually have to cut large amounts of money, not just from what politics demand, but from areas of the country and government where spending is so stupidly high, for unassay reasons. Choices like this should have been determined during the period of 2011 to 2013, if it has not already. I personally believe that if this cut succeeds, the US could find themselves on the way to recovery and to a country, less in debt.
